India and the US have informed the World Trade Organization (WTO) on the mutual resolution all the six trade disputes, in line with the commitment they made last month.
 
In five separate notifications to the WTO on Tuesday, they asked the multilateral trade watchdog to terminate these disputes. The US and India had initiated three disputes each.
 
The notification for the mutually agreed solution to the dispute on retaliatory duties on certain products imported from Washington, was made on Monday.
